Surat and Carols place is in a very local section of Bangkok. Only a couple of minutes walk to the Skytrain and 24/7 7-elevens everywhere. We highly recommend taking time to speak with Surat and Carol about recommendations and get to know them. Unfortunately, we were unable to meet Carol this time, but Surat was very hospitable, speaks excellent English, and helped us with everything from translations to directions. We will definitely be staying with them on our next trip to Bangkok.
